Body temperature estimation via thermal intensity distribution
A method for estimating human body temperature includes receiving, via a thermal camera, one or more thermal images captured of a real-world environment, the one or more thermal images including thermal intensity values for each of a plurality of pixels. Positions of a plurality of human faces are identified in the one or more thermal images. A distribution of thermal intensity values of the plurality of human faces is determined. A position of a test human face of a test human subject is identified within a subsequent thermal image. One or more test thermal intensity values of one or more pixels corresponding to the test human face are identified. An indication of a body temperature of the test human subject is reported based on a comparison of the one or more test thermal intensity values and the distribution of thermal intensity values of the plurality of human faces.
Sensing and controlling states of locking mechanisms
An affixable device can include a locking mechanism, a force-limiting mechanism, and a sensing mechanism. The locking mechanism can include an engagement component configured to disable the locking mechanism. The force-limiting mechanism can be configured to limit a locking force of the locking mechanism. The sensing mechanism can be coupled to the engagement component, and can be configured to determine that the force-limiting mechanism has limited the locking force of the locking mechanism. In response to determining the force-limiting mechanism limiting the locking force, the sensing mechanism can cause the engagement component to disable the locking mechanism.
Healthy building dashboard facilitated by hierarchical model of building control assets
A spatial hierarchical model provides spatial context to a plurality of building control assets disposed within a plurality of hierarchical levels of the spatial hierarchical model. A method includes identifying non-compliance events detected by building control assets disposed at and below a particular hierarchical level of the spatial hierarchical model. The non-compliance events detected by building control assets disposed at and below the particular hierarchical level of the spatial hierarchical model over a period of time are aggregated and a healthy building dashboard that includes a representation of the aggregated non-compliance events for each of at least some of the one or more of the healthy building criteria detected by building control assets disposed at and below the particular hierarchical level of the spatial hierarchical model is generated and is displayed on a display.
Thermographic non-destructive testing using temperature-limited modulation
A method for performing non-destructive testing using active thermography includes applying, using at least one thermal excitation device, a first excitation pulse to a workpiece; capturing, using an imaging device, a first iso-time frame of the workpiece; and determining a second excitation pulse by modifying one or more of a duration D of the first excitation pulse, an amplitude A of the first excitation pulse, or a spacing W between the first excitation pulse and the second excitation pulse.

The infrared thermometer comprises a temperature sensor, a corrector, a processor, and a display device. The temperature sensor is configured for measuring an actual temperature. In a correction mode, the corrector records actual temperature of an ear and a forehead of a user as an ear temperature and a forehead temperature respectively.

INFRARED SENSOR
An infrared sensor uses an infrared lens with infrared filtering and focusing functions. Thus, an infrared filter can be omitted to reduce the costs and volume. In addition, a getter on the inside of a metal cover of the infrared sensor can be activated when the metal cover is soldered to the substrate of the infrared sensor. Therefore, the packaging process of the infrared sensor can be simplified.

A solder device includes a light source, a solder module, an optical guiding assembly, a sensor and a feedback controller. The light source emits waveband light guided to a to-be-soldered area for heating. The optical guiding assembly is disposed between the light source and the solder module, and the waveband light is guided to the solder module by the optical guiding assembly.
